Christmas is right around the corner, and we’re about to get an orange lump of coal in our stockings. Whether you celebrate or not, I hope the next week or two provides a brief respite from the real world. Read the comic at The New York Times.
I work from home, but I’m not letting that stop me from celebrating. I have some tips for my fellow freelancers over at The Nib.
Christmas Party Tips for Freelancers
Every pick Trump (or Pence, most likely) has made for his cabinet is the person most likely to eliminate the department they’re going to be running. Grover Norquist’s vision of drowning the government in the bathtub is about to come true, and even the water in the tub is likely to […]
Trump’s Newest Cabinet Picks
With a unified government, the Republicans can kill the last vestiges of the New Deal that survived Reaganomics and austerity. All of these programs are essential and help millions, but they are far from perfect. A smart opposition party would fight to expand and improve them. Read the comic at The New […]
Republicans’ Safety Net Cuts
There’s been a lot of hand-wringing about fake news on Facebook and how it misinformed voters. Facebook should not be a primary source for news consumption. It’s for ignoring event invitations and hiding posts from people who brag about their vacations. Read the comic at The New York Times.

James Comey’s Case Files
One week until Election Day, and you might be surprised to learn there are other races besides the presidential one going on. Even though the House is safely gerrymandered, the Senate majority is on the line. So make sure to vote for the other stuff on your ballot once you’re […]
Down and Out in the Senate Races
Former Red Sox ace, and current social media doofus Curt Schilling has a radio show on Breitbart. If it’s anything like his other business ventures, it’ll be bankrupt within a year. Read the comic at The Nib.
Curt Schilling: Live on Breitbart
The interminable election is finally reaching its end … if Trump deigns to accept the results. Read the comic at The New York Times.
Donald Trump’s Rigged World
There was another round of Republicans unendorsing their party’s nominee, and there will probably be another by the time you’re reading this. Despite all the vocal denouncements, they’re still going to vote for him. Dracula has more integrity. Read the comic at The New York Times.
